Anaconda-choke creator Milton Vieira signs with Strikeforce

Veteran fighter Milton Vieira has signed a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce.

Alchemist MMA, the fighter's new management team, today announced the signing, though terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Vieira (12-7-1 MMA, 0-0 SF), a 32-year-old PRIDE and Bitetti Combat veteran, is perhaps best known as the creator of the anaconda-choke submission, which he used in his most recent victory over Bruno "Cro Cop" Lobato in June.
